Well, it's been a while so it's time for an update.

The EXPO was great, since we went on Friday there weren't any long lines like usual. I got some of the new Basic Grey sets with cardstock to match (I split the packs with Pita) so we did good. Then over to Technique Tuesday for some new stamps. Love their stuff, can't wait for Serendipity to show up somewhere. I got 5 new sets and gave the freebie to Pita. I got a few more accordion books from Rusty Pickle and some goodies at 7gypsies. Then we went to Oasis to shop a bit and got lunch at the Little Onion. It was a great day.

Saturday I did Kristin's SU! workshop (she had the best party she's ever had, $750 good)! Then I went to the crop at Oasis until about 1:30 in the morning. I work some new eyeshadow, B-Rich, which totally irritated my eyes. They got puffy and ugly about 5 pm but I stuck it out. Like I told Echo, "They'll still be puffy if I go home." Echo killed it, she had a handful of M&Ms in her hand and started to ask, "Does your dad still drink," long pause while she shoves M&Ms in her mouth and then "Chais?" OMG, we couldn't stop laughing. After she said it it hit her too. I worked on lots of stuff that neede attention-gessoing the cards for Emily's challenge, decorating my new messenger bag, lifting a few layouts that now need journaling and embellies. It was a great time even though my eye felt horrible.

Sunday I spent the whole day sleeping off my scrapbooking hangover and then yesterday did a few errands. Today after work I went to Staples (they had new post-its that were to die for) and Target for more 12x12 bins. I got some new stamps from Poppy today too. I even bought a couple for Pita. Tomorrow is a staff meeting so I'll run the last checks from Kristin over to the credit union and push send on her order, then get my stuff together for Amber's class on Poppy Thursday evening. That about covers it for now. Hopefully I'll not let another week go by before I come update again.

oops

Forgot to add that today was a great mail day, got my Poppy Ink stuff, still oggling it, will take to crop on Saturday...

Valentine's Day

Well, the boys came over today and had gifts and cards for everyone. Jacob even made one for Spooky that said "Spoke" on the 'lope. He's so thoughtful with his furry cousin, LOL!

Mom decided that we needed to eat red food so enchiladas and red velvet cake for desert were on the menu. The boys decided that we needed to put candles on the cake and sing "Happy Birthday". Dominic piped in with "Happy birthday, Lord of Love, happy birthday to you when we got to that part of the song. Too funny!

Tomorrow is a day of meeting at Pueblo and/or Montvue and Roosevelt. So cannot wait to end the day (which also involves a SSC meeting) because then I can think about the EXPO :)

Short Week :)

Well, I spent the long weekend rearranging my scrap stuff. I bought a shelf at Target and loaded it up with all of my SU! stamps, then I went to work sorting mags and the like, some went to the new shed, the rest (kits) will stay inside.

On the work front this week looks like this:
Monday-off, holiday
Tuesday-got through it even though it rained a bit
Wednesday-my favorite day, VAPA time means I don't deal with the class until 10:00 and they get out early to boot
Thursday-I'm off for a training, but back to campus for SSC meeting (bummer)
Friday-personal day to go to the expo in OC

Saturday is K's SU! workshop so I'm off to make samples, pack kits, etc.

Time to catch up

Well, it's been a few days since I last posted. Here's what's up:

Friday was my birthday, not saying how old, but it wasn't the best day. I think I deserve a do-over because I wasn't able to get a sub and I felt really sick. Rather than having to have them split up my class I went to work and wound up being sick the whole weekend. I did manage to get Jim to sub for me on Monday so I rested up a bit. I was feeling better this morning and then the unthinkable happened...

One of the girls in my class came back from recess late with a note from the health office saying that she had no fever, therefore, get thee back to class. About five minutes later, from across the room, I hear her vomitting. I could just envision a vomit fest similar to the one in the movie "Stand by Me" so I ordered everyone out. They hesitated but finally got up and out. She washed her hands in the restroom while I filled out the nurse card for her and called for Jack. We wound up playing kickball for about 40 minutes then Christina Saucedo lent me her little office space so we grabbed our books and stayed in there until lunch. I could swear the germs were invading my body as I worked this afternoon but so far no vomitting from me, knock on wood.

I'm expecting happiness in a box tomorrow from SU! I just love being able to pre-order even though I wind up not using things for months it seems. Just thinking about having new stamps tomorrow is making going to work seem worth it. Hopefully this weekend I can get myself organized and get Kristin's workshop ready for the 17th.
